Jazz at Lincoln Center announces two additional shows in its three-part salute to Miles Davis during the 2018-19 season: Family Concert: Who is Miles Davis?, March 23 at 1pm and 3pm; and Marcus Miller: Electric Miles, March 29–30 at 8pm. The Jazz for Young People concert is an hour-long narrated concert about Miles Davis, led by trumpet master and former Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra member Sean Jones. Far from a typical career retrospective, this Family Concert shows not only what Davis accomplished, but also how he did it. Families discover how Davis listened with open ears, found inspiration in the genius of others, and brought many influences into his own individual and evolving vision. Sean Jones is joined by Patrick Bartley (alto sax), Aaron Holbrook (tenor sax), Helen Sung (piano), Endea Owens (bass), and Domo Branch (drums) for this event. Both performances on Saturday, March 23 at 1pm and 3pm are webcast live at jazz.org/live and on Facebook.
One week later, bassist Marcus Miller—himself one of Davis’ crucial collaborators—leads an exploration of Davis’ “electric period” (1969–1992), one of the most influential and passionately debated eras in modern music. Much like Gil Evans and Wayne Shorter before him, Miller played an essential role in shaping Davis’ musical visions. Not only did he play bass on six of Davis’ studio albums, Miller also produced and composed almost every song on three of them, including the Grammy Award–winning Tutu. To this day, Miller is still the premier electric bassist, having recorded more than 500 albums as a leader and with legends such as Michael Jackson, Herbie Hancock, Frank Sinatra, George Benson, McCoy Tyner, Aretha Franklin, and LL Cool J. Marcus Miller is joined by Brett Williams (keyboards), Alex Han (saxophone), Marquis Hill (trumpet), and Alex Bailey (drums).
A free pre-concert discussion for Marcus Miller: Electric Miles takes place nightly at 7pm in the Agnes Varis and Karl Leichtman Studio in The Irene Diamond Education Center. In addition, the performance on Friday, March 29 at 8pm webcasts live at jazz.org/live and on Facebook.
Family Concert: Who is Miles Davis? and Marcus Miller: Electric Miles take place in Rose Theater in Frederick P. Rose Hall, home of Jazz at Lincoln Center, located on Broadway at 60th Street in New York City. For additional information and to purchase tickets, visit jazz.org.
